NYC: TERESA EGGERTSEN COOKE - "MOTHER'S DAY MARTINI MATINEE" - AT 4:00 PM
Teresa Eggertsen Cooke returns to THE METROPOLITAN ROOM (34 West 22nd Street, NYC - 212-206-0440) on Sunday, May 10th at 4:00 pm with a special Mother's Day program, a "Mother's Day Martini Matinee" Contemporary jazz singer-pianist Teresa Eggertsen Cooke returns to the Metropolitan Room after her Christmas program "Joy!". The lady from Park City, Utah, who is a proud mom, is making Mother's Day special for her fellow mom's, moms to be and other parents with "Mother's Day Martini Matinee". Likened to the afternoon cocktail shows of the past, the Sunday "Mother's Day Martini Matinee" evokes a great wave of nostalgia for the ladies in the audience. The shows of past times like Mother's Day were just for them. The era was one of the perfect mixed drink, the most beautiful hat, when ladies wore glove and couture dresses. We may be in 2015, but we still love to be entertained. Teresa Eggertsen Cooke is an entertainer who bridges many eras. She brings a wonderfully curious hybrid to her performance: Her voice has a beautiful husky translucence, steeped in the 1970s. She is a Cabaret artist, who is equally adept performing the standard from the Great American Songbook and the Classic Rock canon of Neil Diamond, Elton John, Carole King and Joni Mitchell. Teresa will be performing several songs in honor of Mothers on Mothers Day: "Sing me down a Song", by Neena Freelon, "Circle", an original song by Miss Eggertsen Cooke, which was written in memory of a dear friends Mother; "Tea for Two" by Vincent Youmans (from "No, No, Nanette"); and tunes by Sir Elton, Joni Mitchell, The Gershwins, Cole Porter and Marvin Gaye. There is a $20 cover plus a 2-drink minimum.

Best known as acid-tongued, pre-Midol meanie Nellie Oleson from "Little House on the Prairie", Alison Arngrim presents an uproarious evening of storytelling, stand-up, and multi media about life as everyone's favorite toxic pre-teen brat, complete with petticoats and ringlets. Never afraid to dish the dirt on TV land, she let all the secrets loose of "Little House on the Prairie", Hollywood and much. Recalling her life and career as bitchy Nellie Oleson, Arngrim startles audiences internationally with off-color jokes about child stars and TV icons of the 1970s and 80s including Marie Osmond, Melissa Gilbert, Michael Landon, Grizzly Adams, RuPaul, Phyllis Diller, Bette Midler and more.
